Congratulations on your accomplishment, it always feels great pulling in that traffic.

Although your traffic is picking up, I would still hold back from aggressively seeking out advertisers/sponsors. I would use your traffic and space wisely, use it to build loyalty and promote your own website. For example, run advertisements for particular pages of your website.

Once your traffic picks up, go for it!

Unique visitors are exactly that, unique visitors. If you have 10 unique visitors, that means 10 different people visited your website.

Impressions are completely different. A page impression is each time a given page of your website is accessed. So if you have 100 impressions, that means your various pages have been viewed a total of 100 times.

Remember that your unique visitors can visit several pages. Of your 100 impressions, you may only have 10 unique visitors. Each unique visitor visiting an average of 10 pages per day.

As far as advertising,your best bet is to go with commission junction right now and sign up for campaigns that relate to soccer. You might also consider trying to convince socceralliance to sponsor your site.

The majority of CPM/CPC ad networks require at least 500,000 pageviews a month before they will consider a site.

hi again

I guess socceralliance...they r now united with xtratime so they r now xtratime soccer alliance

egyptianplayers.com is an associate to this network but we r not memebrs..i guess they sponsor members as far as i know.

for CJ, I guess they don't have pay per click ... only sales and leads...etc for a site with 100 visitors..its hard to catch commission this way...I guess i must have 1000 unique visitor per day to get good comission.. I wanted a single advertising company to place its add on my site which they pay fixed fee per month...
